Chapter 17 opens with explosive colors, imaginary universes and transformed lives in Hackney. Intrigued? Meet our creators, Per Bagger, Patrick Blades and Louis Hollis.

This month we celebrate established and new creativity from the Fabrik community with four talents who each have their own particular ways of projecting their realities.

We dedicate February's Conditioner to a retrospective of some of the most engaging and wonderful entries from last year's Fresh 18 winners. Featuring work from Luke Manning, Kristyna Archer, Efrain Sahagun, Alex Noble, Jody Mattioli, Mark Richardson, Andres Marti, Paul Macphail, Jonathan Swecker, Steven Grindler, Domenica Melillo, Edgar Tescum, Alberto Cittone, David Mrugala, Elena Kulikova, Francis Willmann and Ariel Palanzone.

Still life with a twist, paintings from the South and innovative portraits in the latest chapter of Fabrik's Maker Series. Meet our creators, Ed Tritton, Marcus Ebbett and Dave Bullivant.

With the majority of our focus going to the Fresh 19 call for entries we'll admit we had our hands full this month, but we found time to honour lovely newness.
